Class Blog 3//Interview Topics
- What has your experience learning to code been like so far? What would you change about it?
So far my experience coding has been really fun. I have already come to find it very rewarding. The classes and structure of ACA work really well for my learning style. I can’t say that I would change anything about it yet because I haven’t utilized my resources to their full potential yet. I think right now I am using about 85–90% of what ACA has to offer and I and hoping to work on that and bump that up to 99%. Then I will be able to tell if I would change anything. As of now, I am trying to reinforce learning on my own because I know that's what I will have to do in the future as a professional. However, I think I should use tutoring more often.
2. How do you describe the DOM, as you know it so far?
The DOM is an entity that describes how elements will work together based on the structure of your ur HTML document. Its structure relies entirely on how you organize your DOC.
3. Can you explain the difference between coding a website to be responsive and using a mobile-first strategy?
In a mobile-first strategy, the developer will style the page to fit a mobile device first. This ensures that the mobile site will be pleasant. From there you will use a media query to fit larger devices. The coding of a website to be responsive is working from large devices down. This has the potential to be difficult depending on how you coded.
4. What does coding look like to you in your mind?
I had a dream where I was coding my First Responsive Webpage assignment. I saw the CSS that I was typing at how it responded on the page. It seems like my mind thinks about code like DevTools on chrome, where you can live edit and see the changes appear.
5. Where do you see yourself working in 365 days from today? What do you want to be working on?
In a year I hope to be working for a family friend of mine as a front-end developer. He runs a team that codes a website for a large Freight company. At that time though I hope to be making strides towards learning the skill of UX design. I think that would be an amazing career full of thought and creativity.
